The 54-year-old actor was in UAE to attend a marriage ceremony with family when she suffered the attack.

Sanjay Kapoor told Indian Express, "Yes, it is true that Sridevi passed away".

Bollywood fraternity reacted with shock on hearing the news of her death. It happened roughly around 11.00-11.30.

Having won the Filmfare Best Actress Awards thrice, Sridevi was also the recipient of Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian award. Solva Sawan in 1978 was her first Hindi film in a leading role.

She acted in several commercially hit films including Tohfa, Chandni, Mr India, Nagina, Chaalbaz among others.

Sridevi is survived by her two daughters and her husband. Jhanvi, Sridevi and Boney's elder daughter couldn't join them in Dubai due to her packed shooting schedule. She fell in love with the much married producer Boney Kapoor, giving ample fodder for the gossip mills.
